The Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB) has opened a fresh application window, effective March 19, 2024, specifically for candidates who previously applied for the DASS Grade II examination in 2009. This initiative aims to fill 606 vacancies for the position of Assistant Section Officer (ASO) within various departments of the Government of NCT of Delhi and autonomous local bodies. The application window is scheduled to close on April 17, 2024.

This development offers a renewed opportunity for a specific cohort of applicants whose earlier examination process dates back to Advertisement No. 02/2009 for DASS Grade II posts. The current recruitment drive, under Advertisement No. 04/2024, targets the Assistant Section Officer role, which is classified as a Group 'B', Non-Gazetted, Non-Ministerial position. The move by DSSSB provides a pathway for eligible candidates from the 2009 batch to apply for these administrative posts, addressing a long-standing recruitment matter.

The 606 Assistant Section Officer vacancies are crucial for strengthening the administrative framework of the Delhi government. The ASO position is designated with a pay scale at Level 7, ranging from Rs. 44,900 to Rs. 1,42,400, reflecting the responsibilities and qualifications required for the role. The Post Code for these vacancies is 802/2024.
